Now... let the speculation begin... Alum? D1 assistant? D3 head that looks promising? I for one would like to see someone with ties to the Northeast. It's absurd that Troy is 30 minutes from Mass and yet we can't seem to get any recruits from New England. We should average 1 recruit a season from one of CT, RI or MA in my opinion.

Considering the program's hideous performance on and off the ice, I don't feel bad. At all.

We've engaged Parker Executive Search to find a coach? ??? How about picking a few alums... maybe even Fridge and letting them figure it out. You can't tell me that there is some type of consulting service that actually knows something about coaching hockey!

Here's a D3 suggestion: Gary Heenan (Utica College). He put that program on the map, went to an academically challenging school, and is from NY. We need someone that can rebuild the program and also build community interest. That is exactly what Heenan did there.

Like I said... they all went to college in Georgia and none of them have a background in hockey from what I can see. The sports recruiter, who appears to be the son of the founder, specifically mentions football, basketball and baseball. And prior to doing this he worked for Nissan.
